Carbonyx Technology
Carbonyx is our premium full-carbon construction, engineered for speed, drive, and long-lasting responsiveness. Built with a 36kg/m³ stringerless EPS core, vacuum-laminated 3K Japanese carbon 3.5oz cloth, a warp E-glass protective E-Shell, and high-tensile fast flexing epoxy resin, it delivers a crisp, electric feel with exceptional durability. Designed for surfers chasing maximum performance and response in all conditions.
Model Overview
The Nova is a high-speed, small wave driver built for everyday conditions - easy to paddle, fast off the mark, and effortlessly responsive underfoot. Its wider outline carries momentum through flat sections while the refined rocker and bottom contours keep it lively, predictable and composed in the pocket. Designed for wave count, flow and that electric HS feel, the Nova delivers reliable performance for all surfers wanting a board that lights up every session without needing perfect surf.
Fin(s) included: None.
SKILL LEVEL - All Levels
Suited to all surfers from beginner to advanced, recommended to be ridden 2-4 inches shorter than your standard shortboard or ridden at your preferred target volume.
CONDITIONS - ALL CONDITIONS
The NOVA was created to excel in all conditions from fast punchy beach breaks to smooth, clean wave faces and even the worlds manmade wave pools. It has enough surface area through the nose and tail to generate speed through flatter sections of wave coupled with a medium rocker which will give a responsive feel when surfed tight in the pocket in steeper conditions.
SUITABLE WAVE FACES - FLAT TO OVERHEAD
Suitable for wave faces from flat to overhead, the NOVA adapts effortlessly to beach breaks, reefs, points, and especially pools.
A quick note about our photos!
We use a mix of official brand images and real-life shots from our warehouse to help you make an informed decision.
That said, what you see might differ slightly from what you receive — simply because we can't photograph every possible variation.
For example, a photo might show a 6'2 board with Futures fin boxes, while you've selected a 5'10 with FCS II. Don’t worry — you’ll get exactly what you ordered.
Sometimes, small details like the logo, its placement or overall colour tones can vary slightly depending on the production batch, camera, lighting, or even your screen settings.
These are always only minor differences, and in most cases, the photos are spot on - but we totally get that buying online can feel tricky. If you ever want more details, just drop us a message — we're happy to help!
